Webb says the farmers need not be afraid that the food con trol bill will reduce the first price of farm produce. He says the farmers are getting only 40 per cent of the price the consumers pay for farm pro duce, while the unconsciable middle men get the other 60 per cent. The bill will prevent these leaches from squaezing- the life-blood out of the consumers and make millions of dol lars a day from the government after they have beat down the prices and made sharpe trades witfi the farmers. 1 rt t ' 4 i ' i MR. MURRAY DIES SUDDENLY N Life Long Printer Succumbs Sudden ly to Heart Attack Buried Yes terday at Sulphur Springs. Mr. J. Beatty Murry, 54 years of age in January died suddenly Sun day morning about 9 o'clock as he and Mrs. Murry were ready to leave the house and take an automobile trip to Lincolnton to visit his sister, Mrs. John Mallard. Mr. Murrv has been a cripple since childhood and the later part of his life was spent sonville, Columbia and other cities ia wlde an(1 satisfactory patronage un til his health compelled him to give up work. Mr. Murry was a loval citizen and was held in high esteem by his many friends. He was twice candidate for county treasurer and once for mayor and while unsuccess ful in his political aspirations he re ceived a growing and flattering en dorsement from the people. Mr. Murry was born in Rutherford county, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Murry who moved when J. B. was a child to No. 3 township near Patter son Springs. He was married to Miss Mamie Adams of Rock Hill who survives with a bright little adopted daughter. One sister, Mrs. John Mal lard of Lincolnton and one brother, Mr. Logan Murry of near Waco also survive. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Thomas Bateman pastor of the Presbyterian church yesterday morning at 9 oclock and the interment was at Sulphur Springs Methodist church beside his parents. MR. WEBB'S LIQUOR BILL Would Confiscate the Booze on Hand. The prohibitionists in Congress not only propose to stop the legalized manufacture and sale of liquor dur ing the war, but they would prevent the stock on hand being used as a beverage. Congressman Webb of North Caro lina says he will introduce an amend ment to the Lever food bill giving the President authority to commandeer all whiskey in this country, should he deem it advisable, and redistill the spirits into alcohol to be used in the manufacture of munitions, by hospit ale and for scientific purposes. The food bill already gives the Pres ident authority to stop the manufac ture of all liquors and beers during the war period should he deem it to be to the interest of the country. Mr. Webb says there are millions of gal lons of whiskey stored in the United States that can serve no purpose ex cept to destroy the manhood of the country and by continued drunken ness,. He thinks Congress will adopt his amendment, and he has good rea so to believe if it will drunkenness will be decreased to a minimum and the efficiency of the men of the coun try will be increased to a miximum. Wheat in Lincoln County I (From The Lincolnton News) Some great wheat crops are report ed in Lincoln county this year. The crop of wheat on the lands of Dr. R. B. Killian is of special interest. The doctor says that some of it is the best ever produced on his farm. He is expecting near 5,000 bushels from his combined farms. When you stop to think of the price of wheat, and the fact that some of our young men occasionally talk of going west to make their fortune you can but won der what is the use of going any where but to Lincoln county to make a fortune. True, Dr. Killiam has giv en his land some time and spent money in building it up, but in the long run it is a paying proposition. Horses and Mules Exported In the 34 months since the begin ning of the war August, 1914 the United States has exported to Europe 90,000 howses and 330,000 mules. The horses were valued at $194,000,000 and the mules at $66, 000,000. The fact that this is "not a cav alry war" and that automobiles, mo torcycles, flying machines and ob servation balloons are performing much of the seraice formerly re quired by the horse in war time, does not seem to have checked the demand for American saddle and daft animals. While the exporta tion of horses has decreased in re cent months the exportation of mules has increased. Most of the horses and mules sent abroad have 'gone direct to France, The average export value of horses was around $215 and mules about $200. For rent, 2 office room3 up stairs. W, C.
